The American Family Association is calling for a boycott of Pepsi due to their support for the "homosexual agenda" and they are asking their constituents to take action by letting Pepsi know they plan on boycotting.

Inclusion is nothing new at Pepsico. I worked for this company(Frito Lay division) for 20 years. Now retired, my husband and I have always been treated fairly. This company has offered medical benefits for both of us my entire careeras well. More importantly, support from my coworkers has never been more positive. Good atmosphere. Good people. Great company.

And for those who want to support pepsi without drinking a ton of soda, don't forget that Pepsico makes a bunch of products, like Tropicana juice, Quaker Oats, Aquafina water, etc. So you can decide how unhealthy you want to be ;)

Also, AFA recently posted an attack on Campbell Soup Company because they are "supporting the homosexual agenda." Whatever "agenda" that is, I have no idea. But I digress...

I definitely agree that we should support companies that support us...but as a public health official, I must emphasize supporting these companies in a HEALTHY way -- so don't go getting addicted to Pepsi and Lay's chips just to support the company! Tropicana and Quaker Oats might be a better way to go! ;)
